Without a doubt, RB3 is the best choice of music game available on the Wii
to date.

A step up on Rock Band 2, the game boasts better graphics, a streamlined
interface and continues to have an impressive song set – within the game and
as extra paid for DLC. You can also import songs from Rock Band 2 and Green
Day: Rock Band, which is a seamless process. While the Guitar Hero series seems
to continue with “more of the same,” Harmonix has added further gameplay
through the “Pro Mode.”

It's not without fault, there seems to be an odd slowdown once a song ends
and I've played a couple of songs where there has been a hovering guitar and
nothing where a band member should be. While it is a step up on the Wii to
import songs from previous titles, you are currently restricted to 2 prior
games. The other consoles allow you to import AC/DC Rock Band, Rock Band 1 and
Lego Rock Band. Hopefully, they will fix this in the future. It also requires a
significant investment in new hardware if you want to play the Pro mode (which
I don't think is available yet.)

It's a step in the right direction and a definite must buy if you're
invested in Wii music games.

RB3 is just like it's recently shut-down counterpart Guitar Hero, but with
WAY more music and game play options, especially online and if you have any of
the Pro peripherals.

Description

Featuring an incredible 83-song setlist and access to far more music than any other music game, as well as innovative new gameplay modes, Rock Band 3 will change the way fans think about and play music games. This next iteration in the Rock Band platform has something new for everyone and also supports traditional Rock Band gameplay with players’ existing instruments.

The Most Music.
The Rock Band 3 disc soundtrack contains 83 of the best bands from around the world, including bands that have never appeared in a music game, as well as support for existing Rock Band tracks (Rock Band and Rock Band 2 discs, downloaded songs, track packs, AC/DC Live: Rock Band™ Track Pack, LEGO Rock Band and Green Day: Rock Band).

Additionally, Rock Band 3 will give players immediate access to a music library approaching 2,000 songs by launch, with new content added regularly. Rock Band’s gigantic music selection dwarfs that of any other music game on the market.
